Annie is a California State Licensed Acupuncturist and Herbalist as well as a nationally-certified Diplomate of Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM Dipl. O.M.). She earned her Master’s Degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from the Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine College, Berkeley, where she is currently completing her Doctoral studies. She holds a Bachelor degree in American Studies from Cornell University.
Like many practitioners of Chinese Medicine, Annie found Acupuncture through her own health journey. An avid cyclist and traveler, she worked previously leading cycling tours through Europe, Latin America and Asia when she found herself with debilitating Chronic Fatigue. Unable to find sufficient support from her Western doctors she turned to a local acupuncturist who helped her get back on her feet. Her gratitude for her recovery and desire to help others lead her to study Chinese Medicine.
Today Annie works with patients at Alameda Acupuncture to support their healing journeys through the use of AcuGraph technology. She also specializes in heavy metal testing working closely with Dr. John Nieters to support patients through detoxification essential for healing. Understanding the power of nourishing our outsides as well as our insides, Annie enjoys treating patients with Cosmetic Acupuncture as well as Facial Microneedling.”
